Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. Langholz, J., takes no part. (14 pages)
Steve Asmussen appeals the decision of the district court that affirmed the imposition of a fine by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC) for the presence of a prohibited substance in a horse. OPINION HOLDS: We find no violation of Asmussen’s substantive due process rights. We conclude Asmussen failed to show the IRGC failed to properly apply its own rules or that the agency’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence. We affirm the district court’s decision.
